Well, the prison sentences were probably a big deterrent, when they started changing all the laws and living off the avails of became a much more serious charge, people running those places got scared, the guy and his kid who were running the old gentlemen's club on Windmill were arrested and charged in 2006 after the place had been in business since 1977 and there was far more then massages being paid for there, the local police and RCMP made a point of closing down all the "bawdy houses" as they were known to them, The Gentlemen's Club, and there was the old girl that owned the house in downtown Dartmouth who had a stable of girls and a jet tub in every room in the house, I think it was King St, was it Ava's? It's been a long time. It was much easier and safer though to just show up and knock on the door and you had your pick of always at least a couple girls, sometimes 5 or 6.
